An energetic adventure debut with stellar action sequences. Smith’s writing is intelligent and often lyrical. Her exuberant prose never fails to dazzle. – Kirkus Media Read the full review.
The Urban Boys: Discovery of Five Senses by K.N. Smith is hands down one of the most original and well-crafted YA paranormal novels I’ve read in a long time! I was completely drawn in from the opening pages, and absolutely loved the author’s use of description of the different scenery and locales, and her attention to detail, especially with the characters. We feel transported not only into the various characters’ heads, but the places they are, and it was a fun escape from reality. This novel covers so, so much it’s impossible to sum up, and it was interesting to see how it all tied together but there will still be more to come. An epic literary feat, to be certain, well written and with beautiful narrative. I was really impressed and would recommend this book with the highest of praise to fans of YA adventure/action/light fantasy.

I have to say that it was quite a long time since a novel tickled my imagination.

In a time when young adult fiction is generally finding itself relegated to teen romance coupled with supernatural themes that are oftentimes tied down by typically dramatic interpersonal relationships and overly predictable plotlines, The Urban Boys comes along and breathes life into the genre by rekindling some of the magic that makes young adult fiction relatable and engrossing for young people, while offering older readers the proper dose of nostalgia and captivation to make it more than worthwhile. The author does a fine job in creating a fictional setting that is believably animated throughout the pages.

The Urban Boys is a paranormal trip following a ragtag gang of young men. Each youth is thoughtful and engaging and it was a delight to read their transformative progression—from humble starts to tackling a power perhaps greater than themselves.

This cinematic book is equal parts breathtaking and meditative and I can’t wait to get my eyes on more of it. Excellent read!

I found “The Urban Boys” to be very entertaining and exciting. What stood out to me the most about this read besides the vivid writing style, is definitely how well-constructed each of the main characters are. They all have a very complex nature and a strong foundation to each of their personalities, and as well as this, they each have their own defining flaws that contrast with their strengths – which, in turn, makes them seem quite realistic and dynamic. Overall, I am quite impressed with author K.N. Smith and hope to see more in the future.
Well written and very creative, “Discovery of the Five Senses” from K.N.

A wonderful and deeply written emotional adventure.
What impressed me the most here was that I thought that K.N. Smith’s writing style has the confidence and delightful quirkiness of a much more seasoned pro… was a bit surprised to see this is her first novel. The characters had that elusive ‘flavor’ that only comes when they are fully realized and fleshed out, something that is not easily done, especially in a novel of this depth and complexity, and the prose was lyrical and lush… almost poetic. Beautifully mesmerizing and wonderfully addicting!
From the opening pages of “The Urban Boys” I knew it would be different from the books I’ve been reading lately and I was right! Ms. Smith sets of the scene and characters in a skillful way that not only draws us right in, but creates great visualizations (like we are watching a mini-series on TV as all the events play out) and elicits genuine emotional investments.

This is a fully developed, well-written novel that will exceed your expectations. Ultimately, it conveys strong messages about trust, loyalty, and inspiration. I award The Urban Boys five stars-plus. It’s a considerable cut above the usual YA genre, and its highly imaginative storyline will appeal to a much broader audience.
Author K.N.

I enjoyed the book very much! The Urban Boys reads fluently, is fast paced and has a lot of likeable characters. I like the world described in the book. It seems common and everyday at first, but soon the atmosphere becomes very mystical and grows on you. Considering the beauty of the scenery and the striking fights that the boys are engaged in, I think that the story would make a thrilling show or movie!
The brotherly bond of five teenage boys is tested when they are exposed to an energy source that heightens their senses. Destined to be pursuers of good, together they begin a journey to maturity as they embrace and fully realize their new-found powers despite looming threat from a vengeful villain.

A must read!!! An absolutely riveting story about the struggle between good and evil. Five young men experience a surprising, somewhat whimsical, yet very dangerous journey into a dark world from which they must emerge victorious. A dark stranger leads the way. The first in a series, which will have you on the edge of your seat. Amazing!
This book is hard to put down once you start reading so block out ample time before beginning. I’ll start by saying, I definitely place this novel alongside “Twilight” and “The Hunger Games” for a couple of reasons. Although the story lines have nothing to do with one another the main characters all cater to the same age range with the door wide open for a series. While the author manages to capture every detail in every scene placing you right in the middle of your imagination, the characters are also well thought out with descriptive traits of their own. I enjoyed every minute of it and am convinced you will, too. This is undeniably an author to keep your eye on!
I LOVE to read, but live a hugely busy life. It gets more complicated upon that rare occasion when a book is so captivating, so enthralling, that it is impossible to walk away. With only definitive hours in a day, something has to give. For me, that was sleep! And it was worth every sacrificed minute. “The Urban Boys” was the grand slam home run and exceeded my wildest expectations and I would bet, maybe yours, as well. Totally new concepts and a rich crew of characters – good, bad and ugly… and suspenseful twists that keep you guessing, and such beautiful, strong writing! A must read for fans of YA action/adventure/fantasy!!
This powerhouse of a story by K.N. Smith is equally packed with action and emotion, and is sure to please even the pickiest of literary readers for its fine quality of prose and a meaningful and attention-grabbing plotline. Great writing and a bold attempt at capturing many important themes and elements made “The Urban Boys” a hit for me. Hope this author continues writing these types of books because she certainly has a knack for it. Eager for the next one as the journey of the boys continues on!
The Urban Boys hits the ground running and never looks back. Author K.N. Smith uses her mastery of the written word to weave an entrancing, yet powerful tale of bonding, loyalty, and adventure that keeps you turning pages in an unquenchable desire to find out what happens next. The author’s matchless prose details cinematic fight sequences and fully developed characterizations especially in a final, stupendous scene that will take your breath away and leave you limp with spent emotions. Five stars for this imaginative and inspiring story, sure to be as appealing to general audiences as it will be to the YA crowd!
Oh wow, I enjoyed this book and read the whole thing in one week, which is fast for me, especially considering I have no free time at all to read these days, but it just seemed to go by so fast and I never wanted to stop reading it, even late into the evening. I was mesmerized by the world K.N. Smith created, one so realistic and authentic, yet clearly fantastical and extremely imaginative – and intelligent at the same time. You will not be disappointed!
Forget spellbound. This novel will have you transfixed. Not wanting, but needing more. K.N.Smith masterfully crafts the characters using relatable dialogue. Remarkably, her articulate word imagery is all that is needed to transport readers to a mysterious paranormal world where good and evil collide and the future of Danville is on death’s door. However, I must warn you – this book should come with a warning: do not begin reading this novel unless you have time to read it all in one satisfying hit. I implore you to put your phone down, turn off the television, and close the laptop lid. Make the time to connect with this piece of literary prowess. You will not regret it. The Urban Boys truly is a gift to the imaginations of our young people. I thank K.N.Smith for breathing life into this unique story, keeping creativity and therefore hope alive in the lives of those who read this novel. – V.

And its so original and creatively written. The writing was so descriptive and the character development was wonderful. Highly recommended. Read the full review.
What makes this book particularly fascinating is the manner in which the community in which the characters exist is itself a living, conscious entity. In this respect, the book has a strong fantasy element to it. The writer makes great use of backstories and subtext to lend depth, subtlety, and mystery to the unfolding of the story as it vacillates from surreality to reality. Additionally, the writer introduces poetic elements into the narrative, placing the story into a mythical context, each of the characters’ actions being a response to fate as they struggle to reach a balance between the demands of normalcy and the pull of destiny. I would recommend this book to readers of fantasy, mystery, and even fans of certain kinds of comic books which explore how the introduction of new powers or abilities put pressures upon those who acquire them to undergo intensive personal transformations in order to accommodate the responsibilities these entail. Five stars!
The whole setting of the story felt so real. There is a lot of mystery that gradually reveals throughout the story, just enough to keep you hooked.

This book was definitely hard to put down. It is a fab YA read, and is easily one that has the potential to be the next big thing in that reading community. I did find myself staying up until the wee hours of the morning, trying to see what happened next, hoping the boys were successful and that they came out of their challenges unscathed. I found the characters to be brilliant. They were very well developed, with each being given their own talents and personality. The author supplied a fantastic level of detail. There was just enough to really make things real and exciting. It is easily a book you will think about all day, both characters and story alike, wondering what will happen next and if your favourites will be ok.
The Urban Boys is a gritty thriller full of paranormal intrigue. The story is set in a richly written setting with two main locales that in stark contrast of one another. The characters are compelling and I thought each had great development as they gained their heightened senses or abilities. The writer soars as she describes these with well-thought-out detail. The characters become strong, smart and completely relatable. Complex and filled with action, this story was a delight to read from beginning to end. The book is equal parts magical and harrowing and I pray there is more of it to come. A fantastic read that might be The Hardy Boys for this generation! A++
